Description

Columniform cement solidified product is maken by adding to indicator of 90Sr and 137Cs. Under the respectively constant temperature condition of 25,40,70 degree C, the long-time leaching rates have been measured with the locale's water as the leaching liquid, which is according to GB7023-86. The conclusion shows that the leaching rates of 90Sr and 137Cs in alkali-slay cement are 10-102 times higher than that in No. 525 cement. The leaching rates in 70 degree C are more higher than that in the normal temperature, so the temperature is a very important factor to influence leaching rate. The conductance of leaching water is constantly reduced with the time pas- ting. The alkali-slay cement has better performance in holding back nuclide than the No. 525 cement that is used widely. So we predict this material will be a new type radioactive waste solidified material, and be used widely. (authors)
